FOOD'S AMAZING CILANTRO TOFU SANDWICH
My friend Judy Ornstein has a popular neighborhood cafe on Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles called FOOD. I love all of the meals I've had there, but my absolute favorite signature dish that they make is a cilantro tofu sandwich. The tofu is dipped in a delicious cilantro-spiked marinade, briefly baked, then topped with a to-die-for roasted corn relish. Alayne Berman, FOOD's chef, shared the recipe with me. I've scaled the recipe down from 10 pounds of tofu to 1 pound, which will make four sandwiches. They are hearty, and I usually make a meal of half a sandwich, but the nutritional information is for a whole one.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut laterally into 4 equal squares, approximately 1/3 inch wide. They should be just the right size for the sandwich bread.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment. In a large, wide bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade. Pat each square of tofu with paper towels, then dip into the marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Transfer to the baking sheet.
- Bake the tofu for 7 to 10 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to color and the marinade sets on the surface of the tofu. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, make the corn relish. Grill the corn until it colors lightly, and allow to cool. Remove the kernels from the cob. Peel, seed and dice the roasted peppers. Combine peppers, corn and remaining relish ingredients in a medium bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.
- For each sandwich, spread a thin coating of Vegenaise on each slice of bread. Top the bottom slice with a piece of baked marinated tofu. Fan thin slices of avocado over the tofu (the avocado helps the relish adhere to the sandwich). Top the avocado with 1/2 to 3/4 cup relish. Top the relish with slices of heirloom or good roma tomatoes and a handful of arugula. Top with the second slice of bread.

- Start by making the pickled veggies: pack the vegetables and jalapeño slices into a 500ml mason jar or resealable container. Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the veggies and then pour over the vinegar. Place the lid on the jar and shake up the mixture. If you can, let it sit for an hour – or you can make this in advance, it will keep well for five days in the fridge.
- Slice the tofu into two equal squares. Then, take each square and cut horizontally into 2 thinner squares. In a small bowl, mix the hoisin and five spice. Brush the tofu with the hoisin mixture on both sides.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp avocado oil over medium heat. Fry the tofu until it’s browned on both sides – about 3-4 min a side. If you want a more intense hoisin flavour, you can give the cooked slices an extra brush with hoisin once cooked - or add a bit to the bread!
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread both sides of the toast with a bit of mayo and a drizzle of sriracha. Add some pickled veggies, squeezing extra moisture out if you’ve grated them. Then add a slice of tofu, some cucumbers and a little handful of mint and cilantro.

- Combine lime juice, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, salt and chili powder in a small bowl. Pour into a baking dish and place tofu slices on top.
- Spoon some of the marinade on top of the tofu and place the dish in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour (up to 3 hours). Flip over the tofu slices halfway through.
- Meanwhile, mash an avocado in a small bowl and add lime juice and salt to taste. Spread avocado mash onto 4 slices of bread. Evenly distribute tomato, onion and spinach on bread slices. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove tofu from fridge and place directly on skillet (no extra oil needed for the skillet). Cook tofu until both sides are a golden brown, about 5 minutes each side.
